Admission and Application Procedures

Admission to the UNO Graduate School requires an undergraduate grade point average
of at least 2.5 and a graduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher. GRE scores of
300 (combined quantitative and verbal) are considered as competitive criteria in evaluating
applications to the doctoral program, however GRE scores are considered in combination
with an applicant’s professional and academic qualifications.

The application process is a two stage process involving admission to UNO for graduate
level studies, then admission to the Educational Administration program. Admission
to the Graduate School (first step in the admissions process described below) permits
an applicant to enroll in graduate courses, but it does not permit enrollment in program
"doctoral core courses" or "advanced doctoral seminars."

Students whose degrees are not from United States colleges or universities must provide
English translations of academic records, certified by a U.S. foreign service officer
and/or admissions officer.

Deadlines

Applications will be reviewed twice yearly for admission to educational leadership
doctoral programs – in the Spring for Fall admission, and in the Fall for Spring admission.
Applications received by October 1 in the Fall and February 1 in the Spring will receive
priority consideration. Applicants will be notified of admissions decisions as soon
as the process has been completed. Please call the program office for an update on
the status of your application if you have not heard by November 15 (for Spring admission)
and March 15 (for Fall admission).
